[REBOL] Re: Rebol# or Rebol on DotNET
From: bry:itnisk at: 16-Oct-2003 0:58
I'm home right now with a fever, so I'm just
gonna give a quick note of the fact that it
is possible to use regular expressions
inside of xml schema as well, as an
extension of strings.
However schema usage can be somewhat
different than programmatic usage as you
don't have the possibility of matching,
matching again, checking against the results
of two matches before you apply match three.
Again the schema usage only seems to me like
it would be useful in the context of
consuming rebol as an xml provider.
